Premier Sort Customer Guide

4.0 Mail presentation

Mailings that are presented must be separated according to format and service:

Mail must be presented in mail trays which will be provided by Whistl. Mail must be placed in the trays un-banded, all facing in the same direction and the correct way up.Trays should not be over filled as it makes handling difficult and can cause sticking envelopes. In the case of Letters the mail should be placed with the address the right way up and sitting upright.

• 3 day service • 2 day service • Letter

• Light Large Letter • Heavy Large Letter • Packet

• If you require part of your mailing to be sprayed with an indicia or return address by our sortation machine. 4.2 Mail sequence PremierSort mail should be presented in a geographically random order.This maximizes throughput of the process and minimises risk of delay. The easiest way to make sure the mail is in random order is to stack the ‘print file’ by surname in alphabetical order. 4.3 Flexibility Please note that this is only applicable to Letters and Light Large Letters. Items must be flexible enough to bend into an ‘S’ along their longest edge. The “S” Test is intended to indicate when a mail piece is too stiff to be safely handled by the automation

E.g.

In the case of Light Large Letters and Heavy Large Letters the mail should be placed flat down with the address facing down. Where possible Packets should also be placed in trays where dimensions permit. If the dimensions are too large for a tray or if the Packet mailing is of a high volume, then please speak to your Whistl Account Manager regarding the use of magnums. 4.1 Mailing items The Customer must ensure where possible that mailing items of a similar weight, shape or size are securely placed in Whistl trays. The number of mailing items in each tray will depend on the nature of the mailing items. This will normally be determined by their size and thickness.
